Examination of crystalline arrays in non-A, non-B hepatitis.
Individual patients within crystalline arrays found in the endothelial cells of hepatic sinusoids in experimental non-A, non-B hepatitis were examined by the Markham rotation technique. The particles appeared to possess an outer structure with 16-18 divisions. The presence of the crystalline structures is probably a reflection of host cell response to infection.
